Abstract

The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system that cause the production of fluid that forms the semen, the sperms are carried by this thick fluid.
With the advancement of men age, the prostate approximately unavoidably grows larger. This growth can hinder the urethra, due to this, men have to urinate more frequently or there may be difficulty with urine flow. Some patients take prescription drugs for this (Flomax being one of them) or herbal remedies (saw palmetto). Surgery is required to bring back flow in some severe cases. This is the situation when Prostate cancer is diagnosed [1].
